  • Sorting algorithms (selection sort, bubble sort, rt and insertion sort)
  • Time and space complexity analysis (big-oh, omega, theta, and ega notations)
  • Recursive algorithms and master theorem
  • Divide and conquer algorithms (merge sort, quick  sort, and matrix multiplication)
  • Trees (binary search trees, AVL trees, and red-black trees
  • Total course time - 15 to 20 hrs
